Eckhart Tolle is one of the most inspiring spiritual teachers of our time. Even though he has long laid out the essence of his teachings in three foundational books (the earliest, “The Power of Now,” was published in 1997), he continues to conduct numerous seminars and give lectures. The questions asked by the audience help clarify the depth of what’s written in the books. Every time it’s a new audience and, therefore, a different way of approaching the universal human problem: how to live in harmony with the present? (“The present” is understood here in both senses: what is happening around us right now, and the Present as true, real reality.)
